Title:
[needs-packaging] ac3JACK - audio streamer to SPDIF output using AC3
on JACK audio
Status in Ubuntu Studio:
Won't Fix
Status in Ubuntu:

Bug description:

Description:
AC3Jack is a tool for creating an AC-3 (Dolby Digital) multichannel stream from its JACK input ports. Using this tool, an AC-3 stream (up to 5.1 channels) is created in real time and either written to a file or streamed to a SPDIF output.
If the SPDIF port on your audio interface for connection to a
multichannel surround receiver, you can achieve full 5.1 surround
mixing and monitoring of your JACK applications with a single digital
cable, and no need for hardware supporting discrete outputs and
inputs.
AC-3 is a compressed audio stream, so quality will suffer somewhat,
but it is the price you pay for easy surround sound. The AC-3 encoder
used here comes from the Aften project and although the sound quality
seems good, I haven't seen any direct quality comparisons with
commercial encoders.
Now has a GUI for the main functions.
